The sequel to Chinese Ghost Story is a lot different from its predecessor, but is quite good.

Our bumbling tax collector, Leslie Cheung, this time is mistaken to be a criminal and arrested. On hearing his execution, his prison mate helps him escape, and he takes off on a horse (which belongs to Jackie Cheung, who uses an innovative method to chase him). Cheung's mistaken identities continue when he meets with a group of rebels who mistaken him for a famous rebel scholar, and the painting as a cryptic message. Cheung is astonished at the resemblance one of the rebels, played by Joey Wong, has to his ghostly lover.

Unlike its predecessor, this film is just plain fun. There are rubber monsters galore and this time Cheung gets to do a rap (although not as good as the one in the first movie, IMO :) However I didn't feel the storyline were as well developed as the original, which disappointed me. Overall-sit back, relax and enjoy this lightweight offering.
